I'm dealing with this ring guard on my skin, and it's starting to spread to the lower part of my body. I'm really worried about it. Here are some pictures. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've been noticing some red rashes on my legs, arms, and back since yesterday. Initially, I thought it might be something I ate, but Im not really sure. It gets pretty itchy in the morning, and when I scratch, the rashes seem to spread. After lunch, the rash flared up again but disappeared a bit after I took some medicine. I'm worried about why this is happening. Could it be something serious?
You may be experiencing an allergic reaction. To help alleviate the itching and rash, you can take an antihistamine. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help reduce the itching and inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been losing a lot of hair recently and even noticed some bald spots. My doctor, Nimesh Shah, prescribed me MBSON SL 1500mg to take every morning for the past 15 days. I'm really hoping this will help with the hair fall. Can you tell if this will actually work for me?
This medicine MBSON-SL 1500mg is a combination of biotin, selenium, and zinc which are known to promote hair growth and reduce hair fall. The dosage of 1500mg is appropriate for daily use. It may help in improving your hair condition and reducing hair fall. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed

I've been having this issue for the past six months where I notice some white patches on the glans of my penis, which come off easily after washing. Theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin with some light itching. I got a VDRL test done and it came back negative. I've been using zoster ointment, but I'm a bit worried. Whenever I have physical relations, sometimes the glans gets a bit red, and the foreskin seems to shrink and tighten. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything else I should be doing or looking into?
Probable diagnosis is fungal infection. Candid cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks, along with tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.
